Hello Hello

Up on a hilltop far from the city Overlooking a stream I heard a sound, it made me look round I looked back where I had just been There just behind a ledge There was a man, he leapt to and fro Clipping away at a hedge Suddenly I heard a ringing singing But he was nowhere to be seen Pulling my trousers up to my knees I waded across the stream Back to the place where I could hear sounds And where the old man once had been There just behind a ledge I looked about, I couldn't make out Where he had been clipping the hedge I could not hear what he was singing But I found my ears ringing with the sound
